I love when we’re watching The Chef Show and Roy Choi can barely hide his disdain for anything subbed with cauliflower. And then when he takes a bite he rarely says anything.
Same, Roy. Same.
None of this is going to end until we stop making things out of cauliflower.

“It’s so good! It tastes just like the real thing!”
No. No, it doesn’t.
There’s a difference between liking something made with cauliflower and trying to convince people that subbing with cauliflower is “exactly like the real thing you can’t even tell!” or that it’s as good or good in the same way as the real thing.
“THIS is amazing, I’ve made it several times. And the cauliflower is NOT disguised as something else:”

Right!
You could also just deep fry or roast most things and slather them in a good sauce and they’d be good.
I mean, the best cauliflower I ever had was featured on a tapas menu and it was simply called “roasted cauliflower.”
Long, long ago.
In the beforetimes.
